Performing the: A Step-by-Step Tutorial Cable Side Crunch
Stand sideways to the machine, grab the handle with the hand that's closest to it, and step away from the machine until your arm is fully extended.
Place your free hand on your hip or behind your head and then bend your waist, pulling the handle down towards your hip, keeping your arm straight.
Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement to really feel the contraction in your obliques.
Slowly return to the starting position, ensuring you control the resistance on the cable, and repeat the exercise for the desired number of reps before switching sides.
